My own story…
I was having a lot of trouble with my chinchilla barking at night. It was really disrupting my sleep, and I didn’t know what to do about it.
I tried figuring out what was causing the barking and addressing the issue, but it didn’t seem to help. The barking continued despite my efforts.
I decided to go see a veterinarian to see if they could help. They told me that there could be a variety of reasons why my chinchilla was barking at night, and they recommended some treatment options.
Thankfully, after getting some medication and following their advice, my chinchilla’s barking stopped. It was a huge relief and I was finally able to get a good night’s sleep again.
